8 items to pack in your petβs doggy bag for their boarding stay.
1)Food = Provide your pet sitter with enough food to last the entire duration of your dogβs stay. Use small plastic baggies to package pre-measured meals, and label them βBreakfastβ, βLunchβ, and βDinnerβ. This will ensure that your dog is getting exactly the right amount of food for each meal. If there is any food leftover, the pet sitter will be able to tell that your dog may be feeling stressed or uncomfortable.
2) Medications or supplements = Include the appropriate number of doses that your dog will need to take in your absence, as well as written instructions with details such as dosage amount and schedule. If the medicine and/or supplements must be taken with food, itβs helpful to include them in the pre-packaged meal bags.
3) Favorite toy = Pack 1 or 2 of these toys to make sure your dog has all of the fun that he / she enjoys at home.
4) Dog bedding = To keep your dog feeling close to you even in your absence, include something with your scent. This can be a blanket, t-shirt, dog bed. This is a wonderful way to help your dog feel comfortable, calm, and stress-free.
5) Harness and leash. Make sure your pet has an id tag on if they do not have a chip.
6) Document provide by pet sitter = If you have not submitted all of the paperwork necessary beforehand, be sure that all required documents and forms are ready to give on drop off day. This is usually vaccination record, vet contact name and number, allergies, food eating, etc.
7) Food and water bowl, As your dogβs owner, you know more about them than anyone else on the planet so send the things you know they will love on during bed or play time! πΎπΎ
